My husband and I identified a female Blue Grosbeak a couple of days ago. I had seen her several times before but could not get a good enough look at her to clearly identify her. She has continued to visit our water source and I hope I get to see her husband before they migrate south. They spend the summer here, but I have not seen the male.

They eat mostly insects, but also some seeds and fruit so my feeders offer a little that they might be interested in.

No comments:

Birds became a wholehearted passion after I was faced with raising an orphaned baby white-winged dove. I had no idea what to do and had a hard time finding reliable information, even after spending long periods searching the web. I want to share what I have learned over the last few years in hopes that others will find the answers they need here to help a baby in need.
This blog will be about feeding and watching wild birds, helping orphaned and sick birds, and related subjects.
